Invermere Sightseeing: Hit The Slopes

Given its location within the Rocky Mountains, Invermere is a great place to visit if you are looking to hit the slopes this winter. Panorama Mountain Resort is a beautiful 3,000-acre downhill ski resort located just 20 minutes from Invermere. The resort includes restaurants, bars, a general store, and childcare. Panorama caters to all levels of experience and offers lessons for beginners. You’ll never run out of space, as Panorama is ranked as the #1 resort for the most space per skier, boasting wide-open groomed runs and a number of chairlifts that efficiently space people out across the mountain.

If you’re an experienced skier looking for something a bit more epic than a downhill ski resort, then RK Heliskiing might be just what you’re looking for. Heliskiing is off-trail, downhill skiing that is only accessible by helicopter. Ideal for small groups, booking through RK Heliskiing will provide you with the opportunity to ski deep powder in the beautiful Purcell Mountains.
